@mexopolis Please make a book of your Hollywoods.

It's awards season so I'm thinking of incredible choreographers who've had an impact on movement in animation. Earlier I wrote a story about "Miraculous: Ladybug & Cat Noir" and how animators collaborate with them: https://t.co/YY6sPJyowA

As of Friday, twitter (yes, it’s still twitter to me) will adopt new TOS which I find very “meh” so I’m moving to the blue skies. I will stop posting here on 11/15/24. Hope to connect with all my #animation, #vfx and #movie lovers on the other side.

Forever thankful to @chrissandersart for the discussion about @TheWildRobot and all the techniques used to make it for an upcoming story for @Variety @cahorst.

[Karen Idelson @karenidelson]

It was a fan girl delight to meet #Moana2 filmmakers Dana Ledoux Miller (Director & Writer), David G Derrick (Director) and Jason Hand (Director) on the Walt Disney Animation lot earlier this month to talk about the new film for an upcoming story in @animag.

[Jared Bush @thejaredbush]

In two months… #Moana2 will officially be yours! Until then, here’s a special sneak peek of the very first song written by the dazzling duo of @abigailbarloww and @mlebear. Get ready to set sail November 27th only in theaters…because WE’RE BACK! 🌊🐚🪝🐷🐓

[Karen Idelson @karenidelson]

Thank you @CooleyUrFaceOff for the great convo about @transformers, filmmaking, friendship and animation. Can’t wait to write this story for @Variety @cahorst!

[Karen Idelson @karenidelson]

A great visit to the @Dreamworks campus to see #TheWildRobot and meet Peter Brown, the author of the incredible book.

Love the breakdown of this shot. Can’t wait to see more.

[AlanWyatt3D @Tradigital3D]

Here is the behind the scenes shot again that explains a bit of the process. The water sim is done with @FlipFluids with simulation nodes in #geometrynodes from @Blender. Such a fun shot to work on that took way too long.

[Karen Idelson @karenidelson]

Such a fantastic film! Happy to see it got the rerelease it deserves.
